In reply to the discussion: Bill Kristol defends NBA owner: Don’t ‘go hysterical over two or three’ racist comments [View all]ChairmanAgnostic

that taking the "right" side is often clearly and utterly wrong. If 100 geophysicists were to stand up and say that the sun rises in the east, as we have assigned relative directions and frames of reference, and defined certain parameters, Kristol would argue the "Right" side that the earth is the center of the universe.
But I argue against muting him or removing him from the ether.

You just have to go in the opposite direction from what he indicates, and you will be all right.
